Your room will always be available to you for check-in between 4pm and 10pm on the day of arrival (unless otherwise arranged). We may not be able to accommodate you if you arrive earlier than the agreed time as we may be out buying supplies. Please ensure you contact us as soon as possible to let us know if you will be arriving after 10pm.

We are nearly always in during the morning. You’re more than welcome to arrive during the morning, drop your bags off safely with us and collect your keys. Please do get in touch if you would like to arrange this and you can then make the most of your time in Salisbury.

Please feel free to use this space and to park as close to the garage door as you like. If our driveway is taken by another guest, please park in one of the many parking bays on-road. Please don’t struggle tofind a parking space. If there are limited spaces on-road, please park directly outside The Old Rectory and we will reserve a parking space for you. We always park our own cars on-road outside our home and will happily move them to make space for you. A parking permit is provided free of charge and is required between the hours of 8am and 6pm (Monday – Saturday). Please note that one car parking space per room booked is provided. If you have more than one vehicle there is a large public car park off Belle Vue Road (please ask and we can happily assist you).
